Reggae Song “Baba Two” Coming Soon.
Baba Two
I never thought that I will really sing Reggae in my life. As it seems, there is a possibility of me doing that. I guess time will tell!
But what I can tell now, is “The Famous Munya Matarutse”, is my good friend from primary school. One day I told him I want to sing something different from my musical style and would be happy to learn some music from you. What do you recommend? He simply said “Reggae Music”! ☺️. Then I said sure why not.
This is how the “Baba Two” Song was born. After singing it, I felt so refreshed and free from secrets of life and I said to myself this is really good. Now I have to fall in love with its beat, but lyrically I was satisfied.
The song will be out sometime soon. And what will follow next? I guess we shall know ☺️🤝

Get One_Be One
You have eyes that see
Mind that thinks
Visions that share
A history that tells
And experience that highlights
A culture that questions
A solution that ponders
And a voice that speaks to the heart
You have walked
Side by side with life
You have been in
The class of shock
And Understanding
You have been sent
To heal bones from
Their cracking and terrors
You have been sent
To brighten days from
Their terrors and fears
To life they did hold
You in their hands
But now you hold
Many in your hands
Wishing life and giving hope
Hope to live and hope in leaving
We are in transit always remember
To remind us_Let’s fly high always
Remember to encourage us
The dark places yes do call
You in their sweet voice
Your attention and love
They wish to suck from
It and be gratified
Simply ignore_but
Carefully listen to
The wind as she
Whispers your name
As she tells you all stories
Of this world
As she tells you where
She comes from
As she tells us her
Relationship with the air that we breathe
And all the blessings that surrounds her
Listen carefully you daughter of the wind
Listen carefully_the sound of the pages
Flipping open more and more
From right to left
Left to right
Right to left
And left to right
Your favourite scripture
Is calling you
Your calling scripture
Is calling you
Everyday in the
Morning from the
Abundance of love
And at night
In the gratification
Of understanding
Blessings of faithfulness
Faithfulness from the Creator
Faithfulness that we are never alone
We have never been alone
And will never be alone
Get one_Be one
In all.
“Get One_Be One”

“Boundaries (The Land of Poetry)” Official Video
The “Boundaries (The Land of
Poetry)” video is now officially finished and out. This is my second official
video after the “Chidhori: Untold” video that was published in 2015. Boundaries
explores different mindsets we have subscribed to as human beings, spells out
new generation Zimbabwean poetry, energy of lively poetry skills and
pronouncing VaChikepe: The Poet as
one of most talented poet in this 21 Century. Life of a poet is not easy, as it
sometimes seems to be a traditional form of classical art that lost its taste
as art continued to grow, but this is not the case according to this poet. His
fans sometimes calling him ‘The Poetic Maestro’ and ‘The Poetician’, he says
Poetry is the Standard International Unit (SI Unit) of every art in this world;
once someone masters the art of poetry creativity and innovation becomes the
person’s easy steps to inventing, discovering and rediscovering a new sphere of
composure sweeter than the best way we can define art.
This type of art does not need
sweet words to sugarcoat it. Action, results and time will enable the audience
to pronounce those words we can fail to spell out on this paper. In context,
VaChikepe would like to thank Bridgewater College (Virginia)-through Prof Stan
Galloway for discovering him, Amina’s Gift (North Carolina)-through Dr Terrence
Brayboy for supporting him over the years, 28 Shinning Stars as the family
behind the poet, Methodist Church in Zimbabwe-through Rev Aaron Makiwa as the
aura that surrounds this poetic mastermind and 100 Sailors as the poet’s vision
to teaching poetry and connecting all pieces of poetry together so as to
understand the poem of our lives. “Poetry sometimes is something that you do
not understand, but enjoying the feeling of trying to understand it…Poetry is
my life and I love my life” concludes VaChikepe: The Poet.
Enjoy the “Boundaries” video and remember to support this
Poetic-Genius!
Yours in ink

I killed death
I am in love with a beast
No one knows it
Except me and the beast
I have disappeared
From my circles of vicinity
To the secrecy of my knowing
They think I was devoured
In the land of the beasts
The land that devours everything
Except the beasts that live in it
Indeed from an opened mouth
I escaped death with
My own two eyes open
How it happened, it’s difficult to explain
But what I concluded was
I would rather die smiling
Than die crying
I would rather die in smiles
Than die in tears
Without a thought
The beast turned its head
To concentrate on a nearby sudden sound
Like I was holding a big machete
I jumped on the beast-back
And I smoothly and softly killed death
As if I was quickly moving my machete
With all the power of my hands, arms and body
So as to quickly machete out the beast’s head
Out of death, life was given
And we all survived from all our fears
From that day onwards, I realized
The best way to kill death
Is to give life!
Without life death can die
And with life death do live
Death needs life to live
And with life death lives on!
We live with living death
That failed to die
Living death afraid of dead death
For her-she knows
Wherever there is life
I live on!
On and on and on…
Indeed I killed death!
I did not kill
The dead death
But I killed
The living death.
“I killed death”
